Breakfast Club is an American group formed in 1979 in New York and composed at its very beginnings of Angie Smit, brothers Dan and Ed Gilroy but also a drummer named…Madonna ! The same Madonna who will leave the group in the years that will follow and who will become a few years later the incredible star that we know...
Group that released a first Single "Rico mambo" in 1984, a single that unfortunately went somewhat unnoticed...
They will have to wait 2 more years and the year 1986 to finally see their efforts rewarded with the release of the title "Right on track". Single which will finally bring them from shadow to light in a sensational way and which remains to this day their one and only planetary hit.
They will release their one and only album a year later in 1987, self-titled album from which will be extracted the high-caliber titles "Kiss and tell" and "Never be the same" the same year. As well as "Expressway to your heart" which will be released a year later in 1988.
A new album will still be recorded in 1988 but it will never see the light of day. A failure that will see the group not recover from it, which will separate in stride...
To discover or rediscover.

Clips :
1984...particularly rhythmic beginnings which immediately show that this group has everything he takes to do great things...
1984... now remains to be proven in practice. There is everything you need as much on the sound side as on the style side, so we imagine that it will not be long...
1986...and the confirmation of all the good we could think of them, here it is ! It is with THIS title that they will prove to the whole world that they had everything it took to inscribe their name in the musical history of this end of the 20th century. It is now done !
1987...especially since they will prove with this new title that they are good in all registers, from more Dance to more soft. Alright little guys...
1987... a group which will stay in history mainly for one title but which will surely not have been unworthy of the others, that's clear...
1987...in the end they will have produced a single album but it is better to have a single album of certain quality than a multitude of very relative interest...
1987...a group that deserved to go much further in the adventure but unfortunately this will not be the case. The adventure is not quite over but we are getting closer...
1987... a shooting star group as there will have been a lot during this decade. But they at least will have been among the very best...
1988...the last year at the highest level. They will still have lasted 5 years in contact with the best and just for that, respect as they say...
1988...a last title that rhymes with luxury cover since they are going to revisit here the title of the Beatles dating from 1965. And why not...
2016... when we thought we would never see them again, here they are back almost 28 years later, who would have thought that possible ? They had kept some titles aside dating from the 80s which were worth coming out at first sight...
2016...it's the basic fans who are necessarily thrilled to see them come back with new releases. And us with them of course...
2016...especially since these new releases are of high quality, which does not spoil anything, quite the contrary. They should have belonged to an album that never saw the light of day in the end...
2018... like what in music nothing is ever finished even if all appearances make it believe. The proof...
2022... so will this title be the last ? No certainty since we now know that they can come back at any time...
